2016 National Opinion Survey on Infrastructure & P3sA national opinion survey shows that two out of every three Canadians (67%) support or somewhat support public-private partnerships to further investments in infrastructure, a 5% increase since CCPPP's last poll in 2013. Half of those surveyed felt that economic infrastructure is the most urgent need, followed by social infrastructure.

Summary Report of Elite Consultations on P3sThe report summarizes the findings from elite interviews with individuals from key municipalities and aboriginal communities concerning their thoughts and experiences with
public-private partnerships (P3s). A majority of those with direct experience of P3s found them to be positive and a majority were supportive of P3s in all areas, especially transit and social housing.

Summary Report of Focus Group Opinions of P3sThe report summarizes the opinions of P3s from 14 focus groups conducted in seven communities across Canada. A majority of participants felt that P3 projects made valuable and important contributions to public infrastructure. Those with direct experience of P3s in their respective communities more readily recognized the benefits such as leverage, speed, personal impact, innovation and managing risks.

The report summarizes the results of the national poll and three new community surveys that Nanos Research conducted for CCPPP about Canadian attitudes on P3. The following are key highlights from the national and community surveys:

62% of Canadians are open to public-private partnerships

A majority of Canadians indicated P3 support across key sectors of the economy, including transit systems (70%), roads (65%), social housing (64%) and hospitals (63%)

In the three community surveys (Winnipeg, Sault Ste. Marie, Moncton), a strong majority indicated support for P3s and recognized their benefit to taxpayers

They also agreed that these projects might not have been possible without the private sector as a partner in their design, construction, financing and maintenance

International PPP Schools Survey ReportResults from an international survey on school projects in England, Scotland, The Republic of Ireland, Australia (New South Wales) and Canada. It focuses on the planning, design, construction and ongoing operation of school facilities and the value for money offered by the PPP process. On the whole, the results reinforce earlier research that PPPs are a viable model for the delivery of investment in schools.
